Your character is very important in role-playing games, as Bethesda knows and tells you right at the beginning of Starfield that it’s not a big deal if you don’t like the appearance of your character.
What feature are we talking about? As a Reddit user discovered, there is a feature or a facility in Starfield called “genetics facility”, which you can visit later in the game to change your biometric customization, that is, the appearance of your character.
To that end, the user shared a screenshot showing that you already receive a hint in the character editor that you can edit your appearance again at a later point.
Why is this feature so important? In a role-playing game, everything revolves around your character. He is the protagonist of the story, appears in almost all cutscenes and dialogues, and accompanies you for countless hours on your journey through the game world.
Therefore, it is particularly important that you are not bothered by the appearance of your character – after all, you have to endure his face throughout the entire game.
If you want to quickly start the game on the release day of Starfield and fear that your character may not fully appeal to you yet, you can still get started and adjust him later.
What do fans say? Under the post on Reddit, some players comment that they actually like the option to change the character appearance later.
- JustAcivilian24: ‘I’m glad that you can change that [appearance]. Because what if it doesn’t look as good as in the creation system? And you want to change it, but don’t want to start completely over. I’m looking forward to that.’
- Intergalacticplant: ‘I plan to let my character age with this feature, I did that in Skyrim too.’
- NemesIce83: ‘That’s good, it means I won’t regret adding a third breast after 30+ hours.’
- DBloedel: ‘How often have I created a new character after spending a lot of time making my first look exactly how I wanted, only to then come into the game and the lighting makes my character look completely different than in the creator lol.’
Some users also add that this feature is not new in Bethesda games. The option has already existed in games like Skyrim and Fallout 4.
What has also existed in previous games from Bethesda are game bugs:
